New York Giants' defensive end Kayvon Thibodeaux had some choice words for Eagles fans in a clip that resurfaced from his appearance on Kevin Hart's "Cold as Balls" TV show. The episode was released on April 29, but a clip has resurfaced of Thibodeaux trash talking Eagles fans.
Hart — a die-hard Eagles fan — and Thibodeaux were talking, when Hart brought up the Giants. Before he said anything further, Thibodeaux cut off Hart.
"Is it true that Eagles fan are actually, like, not smart?" Thibodeaux asked, while Hart gave him a puzzled look. "Like no bull—. But, like, I know you're one of them, so I get it, like 2.2 (GPA) I get it.
"There are like statistics that you guys are like literally f—ing idiots."
“Is it true that Eagles fans are actually not smart? There are like statistics that you guys are literally fucking idiots.”

The moment came later in the episode and the two didn't expand on it much. Earlier on, Hart rubbed the Eagles' Super Bowl victory in Thibodeaux's face, egging him on about Saquon Barkley. Thibodeaux was respectful when Hart asked him a question about the running back's success, saying the Eagles had a better built team around Barkley than the Giants.
Ultimately, Thibodeaux's comments about Eagles fans are the attention-grabber. Since Thibodeaux was drafted in 2022, the Eagles are 6-1 against the Giants. The defensive end has played in five of those, recording 1.5 sacks, all of which came in the Week 18 matchup on Jan. 5. Since Thibodeaux came into the league, the Eagles are 39-12 and have made the playoffs three straight seasons. Meanwhile, the Giants are 18-32-1 with one playoff appearance.
Giving Eagles fans ammo isn't the smartest decision for Thibodeaux. As a division rival, the Philly faithful are already going to be hostile, but attacking them personally is only going to attract more attention to yourself. The Giants come to Lincoln Financial Field on Oct. 26. Thibodeaux is going to hear it from Eagles fans on that occasion, and likely for the rest of his career.
